RAGE TO/0 Cabinet Will Get Honesty Report A progress report will be presented to All-University Cabinet tonight explaining action taken on recommendations from last year’s student encampment concerning academic honesty at the Univer sity. The report will be given to Robert Carruthers, student representative on the Senate sub-com- mittee. Recommendations from the fall encampment asked that a committee be set up to implement an honesty program, to be set up by the Senate and a sub-committee. It also asked that any individuals representative of the grouo be ap pointed to the same committee. The group., including two fac ulty members, and two student representatives, rec o m mended that two plans be followed to combat academic dishonesty. The first suggested that a group headed ,by the individual college deans would handle first offenses. Second offenses, however, would be sent to the central 'disciplinary committee for action, and the case AGENDA Roll call Minutes of previous meeting Reports of officers Adoption of agenda Reports of committees: 1.

Richard Lemyre, former All-University president, Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs, and Kingsley Smith, pro fessor of psychology, also served on the committee. The group in turn requested the subcommittee, of which Car ruthers was a member, prepare penalties for each type of dishon esy incurred. Carruthers pointed _out that these recommendations have not been approved by the Senate; he explained his report to cabinet is merely a progress report with the final decision of the acceptance of the proposals resting with the Senate. “This is a start on a very small scale,” Carruthers said, “toward a possible program to combat lack of academic honesty.
